Patent GB-2078793-A (GB)
Title: Yarn False Twisting Apparatus and Method
IPC: D02G1/08
Filed: 1981-06-15
Abstract: A yarn false twisting apparatus comprises a pair of friction discs with one of the discs being thin and flexible, and a pressure applying member 24, 25 for biasing the flexible disc toward the other disc locally at the twisting zone. The discs and pressure applying member are mounted to permit selective movement whereby the ratio of twist to yarn speed may be varied, and to achieve a desired twist in the advancing yarn. The biasing force of the pressure applying member is also adjustable to achieve a substantially slipless operation by ensuring that the torque exerted by the discs exceeds the natural restoring torque of the yarn. <IMAGE>

Title: Cathode-ray tube driving apparatus
IPC: H01J29/62
Filed: 1981-07-22
Abstract: A cathode ray tube includes a pre-focussing lens consisting of a cathode (2), a first grid (3), an accelerating grid (5), and a decelerating grid (6), and a main lens ML consisting of a focusing grid and an anode grid all arranged in coaxial relationship within a glass envelope (9). The decelerating grid (6) is supplied with such voltage that only the electrons (B<1>) in the outer shell or envelope of the electron beam which has been subjected to the crossover in the vicinity of the pre-focusing lens and directed towards the main lens, are subjected again to a crossover (P3). The blooming effect due to the spherical aberration of the main lens can be reduced to a minimum and the desired diameter of the beam spot can be positively maintained even when a high beam current flows. <IMAGE>

Title: Model and apparatus for producing optical displays
IPC: G02B27/10
Filed: 1979-12-26
Abstract: Method and apparatus for creating optical displays from a real optical scene with an optical feedback circuit projecting a parameter of the original scene (18) for combination with the original scene itself or an image thereof. The feedback circuit may influence the parimetric image in many ways to influence the combined optical display. For instance, the parametric image may be a negative of the real scene to produce a null combined display showing motion where the parametric image is time delayed or the parametric image may be defocused to produce a combined display with edge enhancement. The feedback circuit may project a vertical parametric image to create fixed relation combined displays or the feedback circuit can project real parametric images continuously to create a combined display which changes progressively as a function of the relation between original and parametric images. The method and apparatus may be used for a variety of purposes such as motion detection in security devices or live sperm counting or real image enhancement in biological microscopy.

Title: Pressurized filtration system
Inventor: BLAIS NORMAN J
IPC: B01D37/04
Filed: 1981-12-01
Abstract: The system is equipped to provide electrical signals representative of volume V and the rate of flow Q through or into the filter of the system, concentration of the material Cs being filtered, density of the particles of the material Dp, and elapsed time te as a filtration cycle proceeds.

Title: Stopper with pouring facility
Inventor: DANE BRIAN CHARLES
IPC: B65D47/24
Filed: 1982-02-17
Abstract: An assembly of a stopper 2 with a spigot 4 and a socket part 11 fitted to, or integral with, a vessel 22 includes an external screw thread 10 on the spigot which engages with an internal screw thread 15' in the bore of the socket part 11. The stopper 2 is screw adjustable relative to the thread 15' so that liquid in a vessel 23 to which the socket part 11 is fitted can be poured through internal passages 7 in the spigot 4 to flow by way of outlets 9 over a pouring lip 15. The outlets 9 are closed when shoulder 16 of the stopper abuts the flared mouth 14 of the socket part. The stopper is restrained from removal by radial enlargements such as ribs or ears 19 on the thread 10 frictionally engaging with a reduced diameter bore part 18 in the socket part 11. This frictional engagement preferably occurs when the assembly is open to provide optimum pouring conditions. The ribs 19 are out of engagement with the bore part 17 thus permitting the stopper 2 to be screwed with relative ease from its closed to its pouring condition. <IMAGE>

Title: Mobile concrete or rock cutting apparatus
Inventor: BIERI HANS
IPC: E01C23/09
Filed: 1985-02-05
Abstract: A straight cutting line and an instantaneous desired cutting position of a milling cutter or circular saw blade in a mobile apparatus for cutting hard materials, such as concrete highway surface, is maintained even if the mobile apparatus travels over irregular or slanted surfaces. The longitudinal stabilization results from a guide track (25). Furthermore, the saw blade (2) position is adjustable either by varying the position of the saw blade (2) mounting in a machine frame (1) or by varying the position of the entire machine frame (1). The position correction is accomplished by a sensor (17) which produces control signals for a position correction power drive (7) in response to pendulum movements which represent cutter or blade deviations from the desired cutting position. The position of the entire machine frame (1) may be varied by raising or lowering a wheel (5) remote from the cutter or blade (2). Thus, a binding or jamming of the cutter or blade (2) is prevented. <IMAGE>
